I just stopped playing Dead Rising. I had already played it a bunch on a friend's flatscreen, and when I bought it for myself, I realized I wasn't going to be able to read shit on my CRT. Even though it was a 36" big-ass CRT, it was still way too tiny and blurry.

My personal vendetta with tiny writing was when I was playing Heavy Rain on a smaller television. It was mostly the television's fault, but trying to play Heavy Rain whilst not being able to read anything I was saying was rather difficult.
